HIVE [Home for Innovation and Video Ecology]. The HIVE studio will allow our youth to design digital games and explore new media-not in order to train them for industry jobs – although there are real careers out there, but to give them a platform on which to build technical, technological, artistic, cognitive, social and linguistic skills suitable for our current and future workforce. This new game design studio program will allow us to turn STEM into STEAM, creating the bridge between science, technology, engineering, math and the arts.
